What is a root canal?<\/h2>\n

If a hole in the tooth becomes deep enough, it can damage the inside of the tooth. This, in turn, can lead to the tooth's root canal becoming infected. That infection can lead to toothache and it is with that type of infection that a root canal may be needed.<\/p>\n

The body's own immune system cannot reach the infection and the bacteria, so in order for the situation not to worsen, the tooth nerve needs to be removed and the root canal cleaned and then filled in with a rubber-like material. Other reasons why a tooth may need a root canal can be deep caries, cracks due to strong tooth clenching or the tooth being damaged by a blow.<\/p>\n

How is a root canal done?<\/h2>\n

\"Root Before a root canal or root canal treatment begins, the tooth is examined and X-rayed by the dentist. If it is judged that the tooth should be filled with a root canal, a hole is opened in the tooth to be able to reach the infected dental nerve. The dentist cleans out the infected tissue and cleans the root canal.<\/p>\n

The next step is to fill the root canal with a material called gutta-percha. It is a rubber material that replaces the lost nerve. The hole is then closed using the same methods used to repair a "normal" hole in the tooth, that is, with a plastic filling. It may also be relevant to put a ceramic crown on the root-treated tooth to make it last better in the long run. It simply depends on how much of the dead tooth has been lost.<\/p>\n

In some cases, more than one treatment may be needed to complete the root canal. Then you fill the dead tooth with a bactericidal agent that is allowed to work for a certain time before the tooth can be root filled. In those cases, you get a temporary filling on the tooth while you wait to get your permanent root filling.<\/p>\n

Does it hurt to do a root canal?<\/h2>\n

Many people who are going to have a root canal are nervous and expect the root canal to hurt. They are often surprised that the treatment is so painless and easy.
